webResponse is not overwritten by subsequent request

[Gergana_Damyanova]

So I have this automation that sends web requests to Salesforce. 
I need to send 2 requests, and extract some value from the response body of the second, however when I log the webresponse, it seems that it's still the response of the first request. Is this expected or I'm doing something wrong? As far as I know the webresponse is overwritten with each new request.
The requests are different, but the response is the first one, you can see by the timestapm:



Is there any other way to access the response body?

Hi @Gergana_Damyanova 

Without seeing the specifics of your entire rule...

For each Send Web Request action, have you enabled the option to wait before the rule proceeds:

Delay execution of subsequent rule actions until we've received a response for this web request

If not, please enable that and re-test.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks, Bill, this seems to be the fix. I reached out to Atlassian Support and they told me the same.
It's a miss from my side, as I enabled this for the first request, but forgot to check it for the second. 
However I did add a delay, even 10 secs delay didn't seem to help (my entire rule executes for 6-7 secs, this includes the first request), so it's a mystery to me why the webresponse is not overwritten.
If anyone hits the same problem, I hope this helps them.

Best,

Gergana
